The $550 million upstream gas project between NNPC Ltd and TotalEnergies has commenced, aiming to develop the Ubeta field and deliver 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day once operational.

Olu Verheijen, Special Adviser to the President on Energy, disclosed this during an inaugural US-Nigeria Strategic Energy Dialogue, hosted by the U.S. State Department in Washington, DC.

Recall that the signing ceremony of the 550 million USD Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Ubeta Field Development Project took place in Abuja in June, this year.

The Ubeta field, which was discovered in 1964, is located northwest of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Speaking at a luncheon organised as part of the inaugural US-Nigeria Strategic Energy Dialogue, Verheijen said the upstream gas project would deliver 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day when operational.

The U.S. delegation included representatives from the Bureau of African Affairs, USAID, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, and the Export-Import Bank.

Verheijen added that major energy reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu since June 2023 focused on improving energy security, attracting investments, and deepening collaboration with key partners, including the US government.

She said the key reforms had improved the viability of the gas-to-power value chain of the country.

The reforms, according to her, included initiatives to improve cash flows in electricity distribution through smart metering and the payment of outstanding debts owed investors and to reduce carbon emissions from gas production.

She added that the President issued five new executive orders to support the reform efforts, aimed at providing fiscal incentives for investment and reducing the cost and time of finalising and implementing contracts to develop and expand gas infrastructure.

The presidential aide said the directives are aimed to immediately unlock up to $2.5 billion in new oil and gas investments in the country.

Responding, Geoffrey Pyatt, U.S. Assistant Secretary of the State Department’s Bureau of Energy Resources, said the dialogue was apt and strategic.

“The inaugural U.S.-Nigeria Strategic Energy Dialogue has set the stage for strengthened energy collaboration between the United States and Nigeria.

“Together, we’re advancing shared energy security, decarbonisation, and economic growth goals,” he said.
